There really is no free way to do it within Jira.   A basic roadmap might get you part of the way there.  You might be able to create dates and dependencies in Jira, export to CSV, and import into a tool that could visualize this info.

Hi @Michelle May

For out-of-the-box, free Jira there aren't any Gantt dashboard gadgets.  A substitute might be the basic roadmap for projects.  That uses epic's start and due dates to timeline work.
